Dunes and off-road spills at the "Marocco Challenge" with BFGoodrich®

04/05/2018

The Spring 2018 edition of the "Marocco Challenge" was held between March 24 and 31 last. With the whole event centered on Erfoud, no fewer than 126 teams hit the trails over some 1200 km. BFGoodrich®, winner at the Dakar 2018, was the official partner to this 14th edition of the race.

The Marocco Challenge is a Spanish rally-raid for 2- or 4-wheel drive vehicles that breaks down into 2 annual editions (Spring and Winter). Each edition is the chance for fans of car racing and desert landscapes to meet up amidst the sand-dunes and test their resistance to the elements. This year, the fourteenth "Spring 2018" edition was the opportunity to test a loop-style course, a first in the history of the Marocco Challenge, with all the events starting and finishing in Erfoud. Naturally, BFGoodrich® was on hand to support the 126 teams taking part.

In the middle of sand-dunes and with two full stages over sand, the race was a pretty complex ordeal for some, with 2-wheel drive vehicles paying a heavy price. With 5 stages just about 100% off-road and some 1200 km covered, teams that made it drove under a BFGoodrich® arch set up on the finishing line. Always a moving and unforgettable moment.

Congratulations to all our participants and to the winners. Make a date for the next Winter edition of the next Challenge scheduled November 30 through December 8, 2018.
